I've posted in the past about a bad experience with Aliexpress and a 100cm doll that was as far away from what I ordered as she could be. I tried putting Miko's head on the body (the head they sent was the ugliest doll I've EVER seen, also about the size of a grapefruit) but it was disgraceful to her beauty to see her on such an ugly, colorless body.
I posted her for free on another site, just pay shipping. Had some very vague interest but figured I would need to leave the post up for a while to get her gone. Let's just say that my lingering discontent with her built up over the last 48-hours. Let's just say one of my biggest disappointments with this doll was the wire skeleton (was listed as steel jointed skeleton) and I wondered how awful it really looked. I've seen images of the wire skeletons from name brand dolls and I knew this one couldn't look like that...
A million scissor snips later, and she was ready to be torched. The following photos can be viewed as a crime scene, a nihlistic and destructive act of catharsis, or just a pissy manchild having a fit... You decide. I know that lugging that snipped up TPE to the dumpster and tossing it felt better than I expected. I'm still upset as hell over the whole ordeal because I could've used the money to get Miko's torso which is now out of stock and LDD has no intention of offerring a similar model, but it felt good to get the reminder of my stupidity out of here.
I imagine some will say I should have found a home for her with someone starting out who couldn't afford a doll. I say I would've made whoever that poor sap was hate love dolls if that's where they entered the game. Not even kidding when I say one of those TPE pussy/ass combos is more seductive than this mess was.
Please point out the various joints on this top-notch skeleton for me, thanks.
Damn, she's got a bubble butt đđ¤Ł
She better watch out, bending over like that in front of me...
Have a thing for sexy feet, guys?
Just some of the aftermath... I'm fucked if Forensic Files shows up with their blacklights and super glue foggers. It's life in doll jail for me đ¤
Please understand that I have a warped sense of humor and I feel like if I can't laugh about something I'm bound to cry about it so this was helpful for me psychologically. I hope it at least made you smile too because it cost me about $250 when all was said and done. If I wasn't already a married man, I'd make it right by putting a ring on her lovely finger đ
What I was promised and what I got:
"Hi there, handsome... No [giggles] I don't come here often, I was just meeting some friends... No [bites lip], I don't have a boyfriend... Do you have a girlfriend?"
I feel sorry for your bad experience, i have never bought or thought of buying a doll from aliexpress and now with your testimony i think i never ever will, thank's for sharing the information so that others can save themselves from a similar situation from that angle your lost was not in vane.
On another note could you tell if the TPE seemed very flammable?, how did it burn/melt ? the reason i'm asking is because soon i may have to dispose of a couple of worn out dolls and have not decided yet on the method to use and any information may prove helpful.
One scam doll = $250
A torch to burn the bad doll = a few $$
Being able to find humor in the situation = priceless
Ironically, the best doll I own came from there as well but I won't ever take the chance again.
I was able to strip almost all of the TPE off by hand by stretching and snipping along the wire frame. IDK how much more difficult it would be with a jointed skeleton but I can't imagine much. The TPE sizzled and melted pretty quickly and let out some gnarly dark smoke (DO NOT STAND DOWNWIND FFS) but most of the frame was wrapped in cloth that continued to burn until I put it out. The whole torching process took under 5-minutes and made the small mess you see in the photo.
The hardest part was lugging the garbage bag with the snipped pieces to the dumpster but it can easily be done over time. I was just in purge mode.
@Kelly V Thank you very much for the information, i will strongly consider it when the time comes for a couple of my dolls to retire.
